What would you do?...Police content.

( don't the police have to record everything ? ) and the officer/s badge number ( if that's the correct term for it )

That sounds the sensible route to take.
Have him use an A4 pad,so you can list multiple times on the same page.That way you can ask each stop cop to record their number and the reason for the stop.
no doubt theyll refuse to record anything,but stick to your guns and get their number,and the supposed reason for the stop
Then get an appointment with the chief cop and present your evidence.

Tell chief cop how unhappy you are and ask why this is happening[Dont make out like its a conspiracy]
You could bring up 'the independent complaints committee' but only as a last resort as the ICC usually uphold police policy[ and didnt find a problem in the Charles de Mendez case]
maybe mention that youll take the evidence to the papers/local MP
But stick to your guns and tell him how unhappy you are.

first keep a log of whats happening and whats being said

some carefully worded and tailored letters to :
the station commander, or whatever he/she's called
the chief constable
the police complaints commission, or similar

make sure he finds out who to write to by name and send it by registered post, so thay cant claim it got lost. Keep it objective and in good taste, offer to meet with them to resolve it and demand a clear explanation of why its happening. State how it affects quality of life and the stress that its causing. Get him to see a doctor claiming stress. Maybe over the top, but it sounds like the cop's going over the top.

Either this is clear victimisation or your brother is not the saint he appears to you.

I'm a biker, 22 years on powered two wheelers and only been stopped once despite carrying my mtb on the back of my scooter regularly.

Hope this gets sorted as it reflects badly on both the police and your bruv.

its stereotyping young people in old sporty cars, North Wales Police at their best.

Have been running around in a fairly new a3, sporty model (petrol / turbo / quick :twisted: ) for the past year. have been past plenty of police (police cars on the road and on 'hide outs') and they haven't even taken a second look.

Have recently taken my Fiesta rs turbo out a couple of times to clean the cobwebs and have been stopped once, tailed for 3 miles, and every police officer within a 5 mile radius have been to the doc's for their rubber knecking injuries.

and its not how I drive the car, its my pride and joy and driven accordingly, its the a3 that gets the hammering...

i belive in karma, said police in OP will get their due's.

Like mentioned, a letter to the local paper, or even better the local MP. Give me the details and I will write it.

when i passed my test at 17 i was stopped at least once a week!!

Deal with it!

I just made sure my car was always legal, stuck to 30mph in built up areas and kissed their ass when i was stopped, worked for me!! Only ever got points by VASCAR.

I just saved my driving like a tit in the dark country lanes or closed roads late at night.

Having the gift of the gab helps, Once i was pulled for smoking my tyres away from a set of lights racing another car, when the copper eventually did catch up with me and pulled me (the other car got away) i just said that they were threatening to beat the shit out of me and the car and i was trying to stop them getting in front of me to block me. It worked a treat, all i got was a producer and told to stay away from the town for a few days!!

I always had a script ready for the rozzers, always worked!

Even when i was driving round town with a traffic cone on my roof......i'll save that one for another day!!

I think you are missing the point :roll:

Imagine you were convicted for burning rubber and given points and increased insurance premiums, but you hadn't actually done anything at all!

My brother in law used to be a policeman, he told me they generally take an interest in older cars because they are more likely to be stolen. All modern cars have built in immobilisers, so are that much harder to take without the keys.

I am driving a borrowed Vauxhall Agila for a while. Slow and not very exciting, but it can carry loads and runs for miles on an oily rag. You never ever get pulled for anything, ever, either. Brilliant.

He even got stopped in an 01 car last year. The guy was determined to do him for something, he got the tyre depth gauge out, looked under the bonnet, went over everything.

Your brother is either very unlucky and being victimised or he's not the blue eyed boy he claims to be!! The only people I know that have been treated like that have done things to seriously annoy plod and even then it certainly hasn't continued for 86 tugs!

I know a biker who got the tape measure/legal book treatment and it was because he went flying past a copper who was parked up, the copper gave chase while my mate had managed to get out of sight round a corner and slam on. The copper pulled him knowing that he had been speeding, he HAD been speeding and very obviously so, my mate denied it knowing the copper couldn't prove it, which understandbly wound the copper up. He then got the tape measure out and spent 1.5 hours on the side of the road measuring pretty much everything he could. Eventually he found the number plate was 5mm too small, and booked him for it!!!

Are you sure your brothers not been shagging the chief supt's wife or something?!?!

Also how long has he had the car and who did he buy it off? Could have been from a known scrote?

Maybe that's the problem he isn't blue eyed...

He had his wife in the car when he got pulled so wasn't driving like a tool, and maybe he did drive like a bit of a tit when he was 17 but no more so than we all did (but certainly no cones on the roof!), but not now. He's had the car quite a few years, and it's been on and off the road, it's his pride and joy keeper. But like I said before, he gets pulled in almost anything he drives. I think he does look young behind the wheel though, that could be one factor.
